DAX to compare two columns and set color for the KPI column

Hi All,

 

I have an employee table with Salary ,employee and benchmark columns  . 

 

I need to compare the benchmark column with Salary column and if Salary > benchmark then KPI color column should be Green, If Salary < benchmark then KPI color column should be Red and if Salary = benchmark then KPI color column should be Yellow.

 

Could you please suggest any DAX to handle this ? I need to show the KPI color column as shown below in expected output screenshot.

My Source input Table is as below :-

 

Salary Benchmark           KPIColor Employee
20000  15000Green color should be filled   E1
10000  15000Red color should be filled   E2
15000  15000Yellow color should be filled   E3

 

Expected output :-

Sameer

KPI color =
SWITCH(TRUE(),
[Salary Total :] > SUM('Table'[Benchmark]), "Green",
[Salary Total :] = SUM('Table'[Benchmark]), "Yellow",
[Salary Total :] < SUM('Table'[Benchmark]), "Red")
